Of his experience as a student at MPCS, Jack says, “Mount Paran has provided me with an environment where I can challenge myself mentally, physically, and spiritually. Having the chance to be educated in a Christ-centered classroom has given me a chance to excel academically and grow in my faith simultaneously.” He holds the England Study Abroad trip and the opportunity to see what “life is like across the pond” as one of his favorite memories of his experience as a student at MPCS.
